Naples, Iranian artist Saghar Daeiri at Shazar Gallery with "Sun of the beach"

From April 10 to May 31, 2025, Shazar Gallery in Naples hosts Sun of the beach, the second Italian solo exhibition of Iranian artist Saghar Daeiri (Tehran, 1985). The exhibition presents the Istanbul-based artist’s new project, showcasing drums, paintings on canvas and tapestries with an accentuated grotesque representation that seems to amplify the denunciation of the human situation and its contradictions, a theme dear to Daeiri.

It is precisely the deformation that pushes the viewer into the whirlwind of an environment saturated with elements as in the exhibition’s title painting, Sun of the beach. The work plays on destabilization leaving free will to decide which way is right or its opposite, so the images are upside down or read askew for a dreamlike place in which to lose one’s bearings. The other works on display also contribute to the disorientation by undoing the definition of fixed points, struggling with an intimate disorder that unites, through a highly personal visual language, a collective destiny in disintegration.

In The Odyssey of an Asphodel, the flower that for mythology was linked to death, encapsulates the signs of such drama in which scenes taken from a playful quotidian fade into the grayness of phytomorphic space. The tapestries and drums on display create an installation environment in which they specularly reverse postures and visions of a fictitious happiness devoid of hope.
